Workers Over Billionaires — May 1, 2026

May Day Strong

#WORKERSOVERBILLIONAIRES

May 1st, 2026 will be a Workers Over Billionaires national day of action. Workers, students, and families will be marching, rallying, training, walking out and taking action together across the nation to demand:

Tax the rich so our families, not their fortunes, come first.
No ICE. No war. No private army serving authoritarian power.
Expand democracy. Hands off our vote.

Inspired by the people of Minneapolis, we aim to disrupt the violent billionaire takeover of our country and show that working people stand together. There are a lot of ways we can participate. Many are joining the call for No School, No Work, No Shopping. Others are pledging not to shop with the billionaires (Amazon, Google, etc.) either by not shopping or only shopping with local businesses. How will you participate?
